Making a Digital Copy
As there was no information other than the original engine, re-manufacturing was done by:
scanning the original block - accurately capturing every detail.
CAD modelling a virtual block - checking, simulating and modifying as required.
Designing and CAD modelling a sand mould to be 3D printed.

A trial mould set was printed using the only sand printer in Australia
The Voxeljet VX1000 at CSIRO Lab22.

The mould set was assembled and poured.
Trial Casting

The result was excellent and suitable for machining. However, we cut it up to identify areas for
improvement. The production casting must be as close to perfect as the sand casting process allows.
Production Mould
Minor modifications were made before the production mould was printed and poured.

Production Casting
The result is a near perfect reproduction casting which is approved for final machining.
